"The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends in large measure upon how our children grow up today"

Hi, My name is Mary Jo Benish. I am originally from Highland, Wisconsin, where I graduated from high school. I attended UWC-Richland for two years where I played both volleyball and basketball. After obtaining my associate degree at UWC-Richland, I transferred to UW-Platteville. During my college career, I coached middle school girls basketball and volleyball at East Dubuque, Il. I graduated from UW-Platteville with a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in natural science.

I began my teaching career in Barneveld, WI teaching science for grades 5 through 8. I enjoyed all eight years there. I then moved to Wrightstown, Wisconsin where I worked as a long term sub working with the special education department. I have been teaching here in the Dodgeville school district for the last three years.

MY LIFE

I am married to Chad Argall who is originally from this area as well. We have two daughters Ellie and Olivia. We have a son, Isaiah Joseph.. We enjoy fishing, camping, swimming, biking,4-wheeling, hiking, and spending lots of time with friends and family. We love the outdoors and spend every possible moment we can outside. When we can't be outside we do crafts, dance, swim and play Wii.
